Morris Minor parked in Oliver's lane I took this pic in black & white to make it appear as an old fashioned photo from the 50s, and not as a modern pic from 2022. The car in question is a Morris Minor MM, which thankfully, has its original reg no (issued in 1952 in East Sussex according to "Where's It From; When was It Issued" book on UK registration numbers I have in my possession); and not one of those "age related" plates you often see on vehicles of its age (which I don't like).
